Okay, I first heard this story on the news in the mornign as I get ready for work... and I was thinking... whoa... some nut was going crazy against Starbucks... planting a pipe bomb. I could understand there are some people who hate Starbucks just because they are a giant but to plant a pipe bomb at a shop is crazy.
Then later I hear reports the pipe bomb was made out of a flashlight. And they arrested a suspect who may have planted the flashlight bomb since you NEED a key to get into the bathroom, one of the employees would eventually be able to ID all the people who asked for a key that day.
Then even later (maybe a few days) I hear that the pipe bomb flashlight did not have any explosive contents in it, but it did have old batteries.... so then I thought.. wait... so its not a pipe bomb made out of a flashlight that cannot explode, that is filled with old batteries.... Its just a REGULAR FUCKING FLASHLIGHT! You can't arrest someone for losing a flashlight... sorry buddy... you all just got too excited! :bash:
Starbucks 'bomb' was only a flashlight
SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- What authorities thought was a bomb in a Starbucks coffee shop turned out to be a flashlight casing, police said Thursday.
